Andrew Shapley (à gauche) est la moitié de Stock, Hausen & Walkman

« It’s near a sure bet that, in least in neuro-scientific electronic music, zero other artist’s name makes quite seeing that much sense seeing that Share, Hausen & Walkman — a triple pun embracing pioneering electronic composer and theorist Karlheinz Stockhausen, the ’80s pop-by-numbers creation team Share, Aitken & Waterman, as well as the ubiquitous lightweight cassette participant manufactured by Sony. The sampling duo of Andrew Sharpley and Matt Wand may actually have been inspired equally by each one of the three, leading to bizarre collisions of cut-and-pasted pop tracks, sound, tape-hiss, and a recognized avant-garde sensibility about the sampling technology (and legality). While laughter hasn’t been totally absent from electronica, the set also helped deflate the pomposity of the most common ensemble of navel-gazing bedroom manufacturers, whether it’s launching a seven-inch one comprising 42 locked grooves, product packaging cassettes in Grain Krispies luggage, or including images of pornographic handmade cards using their Body organ Transplants album. During the group’s development in the past due ’80s, these were an experimental/improv quartet comprising Sharpley and Wand plus cellist Dan Weaver and guitarist Rex Casswell. » (Musician Bio)
